So you refuse to hold your dems accountable for starting the whole birther nonsense?
So you LIE about what we have said?
Tell us again about who has no morals.

Not sure if his current office requires "natural born citizen" or just "citizen" - i.e. can run for it if become citizen post-birth.

dear Desh... going back to 2009 is what should be done... those are Reps that denounced it AT THE TIME.
In the first breath you mock the more current one because so much time has passed, then you mock the earlier one for going back so far. Do you have any idea how bat shit crazy you are?

When it comes to knowing where President Obama was born, 45 percent of Republicans appear to believe that he was not born in America, according to the results of a New York Times/CBS poll. About a third agreed he was born in America and 22 percent say they aren’t sure.

The issue flared this week in Iowa, a closely watched electoral battleground, where the state GOP wrote a passage into its proposed party platform calling on presidential candidates to "show proof of being a natural-born citizen," beginning with the 2012 election.
Don Racheter, chairman of the Iowa Republican Party's platform committee, told Radio Iowa that the language was intentionally crafted as a "shot" at Obama.

Romney aide: 'Cronyism doesn't work'
"There are many Republicans who feel that Barack Obama is not a 'natural-born citizen' because his father was not an American when he was born and, therefore, feel that according to the Constitution he's not qualified to be president, should not have been allowed to be elected by the Electoral College or even nominated by the Democratic Party in 2008," Racheter said defiantly, even though the language may be tweaked at next month's Iowa GOP convention.

Howey, I assume Cruz's mom lived in the US long enough to meet the requirements - 5 or 10 years, depending when he was born.

what did the Dems do to crush it? It was a last ditch attempt by Hillary supporters to win. Once Obama had the nomination of course they rallied to the Dem candidate and stopped the nonsense.

Impact on the 2012 Presidential election[edit source]
In May 2012, the Arizona Secretary of State, Ken Bennett, asked Hawaii to verify Obama's Hawaiian birth to ensure his eligibility to appear on the November ballot.[229] After Bennett proved that he needed the information as part of the regular course of official business, Hawaii officially confirmed that the information in the copy of the Certificate of Live Birth for the President matches the original record in their files.[230][231] Later the same month, the Mississippi state Democratic Party requested Hawaii to verify that the long-form image on the White House website matched the copy on file and they were provided with a certified verification, bearing the state seal and signed by state registrar Alvin T. Onaka, who had certified both released birth certificates.[232]
In September 2012, the State Objections Board of Kansas, composed of "three of the state's top elected Republicans", delayed acting on a petition to remove Barack Obama's name from the ballot, requesting information from Hawaii regarding his birth certificate;[233] but later voted unanimously to accept Obama's citizenship and retain him on the state's ballot, despite objections from the floor by Orly Taitz.[234]
In December 2012, 3 out of the 11 electors from Arizona who cast their votes for Mitt Romney, raised doubts about Barack Obama's birthplace. One of those electors was the chair of the Republican Party of Arizona, Tom Morrissey. Morrissey later insisted that he is not a birther, but stated that "In [his] opinion, what [he has] seen from the president, produced as a birth certificate, does not convince [him] that it is a real document."[235] Arizona Governor Jan Brewer did not agree with the electors who expressed support for the conspiracy theories
